Taking a Suzuki GSX-R1000 around Daytona International Speedway

[BUTCH1]

Take a ride on a superbike class machine that will be in this week's Daytona 200, http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=W3_hpKz1gjI.

No, it will not be in the Daytona 200. Cool bike though.

Your correct, it's been modified to accept a second person, drive-train wise though it should be close..

That ass'

Negative, ghost rider. There will be no GSXR-1000 in the Daytona 200.

My display is at the Speedway...this would be crazy.

The camera should be in the front and not in the back with the driver butt in the way.

Literbike yo!

OK, the bike in the video is capable of 200 though, so it's called a "superbike" point is it's damm fast!..

Just having some fun, don't mind me. They neutered the Daytona 200 years ago. I-4 can only be 600cc now. The big bikes will be running that track, just in a different race.

Yeah, I gotta agree with you on this one. You can't see what's coming up very well. Would have been much better view with the camera in front.

Still a pretty cool thing. I wonder how much fun it would be to ride my old '75 Kaw 900 on that track (or any track, for that matter )?

You should try it. Motorcycle track days are surprisingly affordable, an absolute blast, and generally open to any motorcycle that passes tech inspection.

Mounting the camera behind the rider is a good was to analyze rider position in the turns after the ride. Not sure why a pro like Jason Pridmore would need to do that though...

They're gonna repave part or the Daytona track, turns out the jet-truck accident which ignited several hundred gallons of fuel on the track did some damage after all, lulz after spending $19 million to repave just last year..
